My simple method for drying brass. A colander is used to separate the pins from the brass. A few shakes of the colander gets rid of excess water. Brass is dumped on an old towel; where I roll it around, gather the corners and give it a few good shakes and then unfold the towel an roll a little more.

I then put the cases in factory plastic holders which have been saved or savaged; case mouth down, headstamp up. The trays are set aside in a spare bedroom. In our climate controled home, the cases will be dry in 8-12 hours.

Takes longer for me to type this than it takes to do the above steps.
